She's called Zoe to me

Alright little game, basically some rudimentary platforming and the Simon Says toy you can buy for kids (do they still make those?). Would have benefitted from having shorter levels but more of them, I think - the initial cool factor of the album art worlds wears off quickly, though they nailed it better than Double Fine did with Brutal Legend.

I'm not sold on Violetta, the game wanted her to seem cooler than she actually was. Zomm was underutilized. We needed at least twice as much Zomm. I also think a Sci-Fi nerd would've rebelled against being a folk singer sooner, but that's neither here nor there.

the artful escape is a very quick indie game that revolves around the music. its music is so good because of the way it interacts with the environments, its so colorful and unique. Although the gameplay is kinda lackluster and was never that challenging. Violleta at the start ws pretty annoying but at the end she got a little better but really she was still pretty irritating. Overall a good indie game i recommend.

- Someone called this game a walking sim and that help me appreciated this game. Cuz at first, it seems like it could be a 2d platformer but no, it is all about holding right and strumming through beautiful alien scenescape.
- Lovely story about artistic self-growth and forming your own identity.
- Jamming isn't that fun, it's just basically Simon says.

A fun little musical cosmic romp. A cleverly written and very well voice acted audiovisual experience, while being light on many meaningful gameplay decisions.
